The Mailaralingeshwar Temple fair held at Mailapur in Yadgir district from January 12 to 18 generated a revenue of ₹1,20,90,499, said Additional Commissioner Ramesh Kolar, the fair's nodal officer. The largest amount, ₹28,95,540, came from the temple’s Hundi where devotees donated directly. Other key collections included ₹22,55,700 from sheep and goat auctions, ₹21,10,000 from wholesale coconut sales, and ₹11,00,000 from fun game auctions. Human hair auctions contributed ₹4,80,000. Direct darshan receipts totaled ₹24,71,100 (₹300 per head) and ₹1,40,000 (₹500 per head). Additional revenue came from shop rent (₹5,78,936), vehicle parking fees, and cash donations. The fair attracted devotees from Karnataka and neighboring states Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Maharashtra. The Animal Husbandry department seized 800 sheep and goats, banning animal offerings. They auctioned the seized animals, adding ₹28.95 lakh to the revenue. The Kalyana Karnataka Road Transport Corporation ran buses from Yadgir and other places, collecting ₹65 lakh. However, this was ₹10 lakh less than last year’s ₹75 lakh collection, said Manjunath, Divisional Controller of Yadgir Division.
